Isis lead singer and songwriter Aaron Turner has the following to say about "
In the Absence of Truth": "I won't say what the concept is, but I can give you some clues about what inspired it: Hassan-i-Sabbah, the Islamic mystic cult leader, (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's)
Don Quixote, (Mark Z. Danielewski's)
House of Leaves, and (Jorge Luis Borges')
Labyrinths."
seenitall, however, says that "
I find Isis derivative and mediocre."
